Default Hello From Denver Soon to-be Roadster owner Few ??? and Carfax

So ladies and gents possibly soon to be owner this afternoon, if everything comes together as needed. Found a 2005 Limited Roadster 6spd in Aero Blue w/ 8600 original Miles.I have a couple questions and hoping you folks can chime in before I go sign the paperwork.

Is 12.5 K to much for a car in pristine condition and extremely low mileage? The only flaw I can see is the headlights have a very small bit of the lens fogging going on and the car will need an Oil change.

So I know to look for the rear Window having issues, To check the Hydraulics on the top, check the electronics in the interior (heated seats Etc) Is there anything else I should be crawling over the car to find before I purchase?

Then is anyone willing to run a Carfax for me on this bad boy? My usual Dealer guy is out of town (figures right as I decide to buy) I would hella appreciate it and will make sure to pay the gesture back one way or another. Vin is 1C3AN65L95X047557

Finally is there anything else I should be aware of other than the smiles I will have plastered to my face this summer?

Thanks for the Help one and All
Moltenburn

Thanks for the kind words. Now that being said we own the car. Its actually saphire silver, confused the 2 colors newb mistake, anyhow... car is in damn near perfect shape with 8650 original miles. It logged rougly 900 to 1000 a year documented. It's due for an oil change, and that's it for the maintenance. Rear window is legit, ignition is good, tires had 17/32 on em. I will do a proper picture post in the next few days.

The one small nit pick is the headlights are getting a little fuzzy at the top. Any recommendations? anyone use the 3m headlight kits etc etc. Also I have a tpms sensor on the fritz but I am just going to do the pin move trick. Not worth messing with a almost10 year old system. So thank you for the great forum here. The info found was priceless.

So scouring the forum on tpms I found a post where a member figured out that the dash plug pins can be moved from one socket to another in turn turning off the tpms light on the dash . Basically move pin 3 to the empty slot 6 and no more tpms. Yes it is a bit more involved than that but if you are handy its nothing a few hours and some beers cant solve.

I have always been a car guy and dont mind a bit of tinkering. I have owned a Few bmws, vws, mercedes, jaguars, and the like. At this point I have wired and screwed with my share of car systems.
